Don's Party is a 1971 play by David Williamson set during the 1969 Australian federal election.
[1] Don Henderson is a schoolteacher living with his wife Kath and baby son in the Melbourne suburb of Lower Plenty.
As a result, alcohol consumption increases, and the sniping between Don and his male friends about their failed aspirations gets uglier, as does their behaviour toward the women.
Mack, a design engineer whose wife has just left him, pulls out a nude photo of her for his friends' approval.
By the end of the night, Don and some of his friends have begun to grasp the emptiness of their compromised lives.
